Eibach K24 CR-Z update & track footage - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

We've had our Eibach CR-Z over at Hasport for the past few months to have them install a K24A2 engine with their newly designed mount kit. After getting the car back we are VERY impressed with the work they've done and cleanliness of the swap. The car right now has a stock K24A2 long block with '06 Si Intake Manifold, ECU, Trans, Engine Harness, Hasport mounts, DC Sports Header and Hondata Flash Pro 2. Tuned the car is making 215whp and is 155lbs lighter over the hybrid engine and batteries.

Once the car came back to Eibach we had our Pro Street-S coilovers re-valved to match 500lb front springs and 600lb rears. We also installed a prototype rear sway bar onto the car but had to remove the front sway bar due to the DC header hanging too low since it was made for the Si. A custom header is in the works to take care of this issue.

The car needs some more work and suspension tuning but we are very happy with how the car performed on its first time out at the track. The power band is very linear and this set up has tons of potential. We plan on taking the car back out Chuckwalla and Streets of Willow next month so stay tuned!

One lap around Chuckwalla Valley Raceway on 1/18/12.

I can't imagine how great the CR-Z is with that much power while weighing less at the same time! If it wasn't so expensive, I would do this swap on my car.

Wow... I would definitely be interested if all the parts were available to do that swap! Could pick up a junkyard k24, build the internals and boost it.

Wow, that is sweet! I don't have the time/money to do this...but I am glad someone does.

Any close-up engine pics?

We don't have many shots of the car recently. We have a few photoshoots lined up so we'll post up more pictures as we get them. Here's another shot of the engine bay for now.

DC has made a header for the CRZ?! Is it in production?
